I have a TomTom XL without SD card and have downloaded USA maps and now I haven't a clue how to make them work. What I have read involves much jargon. Is there a step by step guide for the ignorant? The file I have is a RAR file. If you can point me in the right direction I would much appreciate it.

Please run TomTom Tools, TomTom Current Configuration {13.11.2011} for your current XL setup & post the results here.

Not sure what information is needed so copied it all!!!

I wanted the info that TomTom Tools, TomTom Current Configuration {13.11.2011} of your current XL setup would have given you.
